Description
These data provide information in support of the creation of a bioenergetic model to estimate winter prey consumption by Barrow’s Goldeneye (Bucephala islandica). One table consists of mass and morphological measurements of wintering Barrow’s Goldeneyes captured or collected in Alaska and British Columbia from 1996 to 2015. The second table consists of size classes of Pacific blue mussels (Mytilus trossulus) consumed by Barrow’s Goldeneye that were collected in Prince William Sound, Alaska in 1996.
